WALL-FITTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 2, 1919.

Application filed September 19, 1916. Serial No. 120,987.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LnoN B. Ynrsnn and ARTHUR I. FIsOHER, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga andState of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements inWall-Fittings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention pertains to a' fitting designed more especially as a wallconnection for a combination hot and cold water cook or faucet forrecess or corner bath-tubs, but the fitting is also more or lessgenerally adaptable for use in or with kitchen and slop sinks, laundrytrays, wall showers, shampoo cocks and the like, all substantially asshown and described herein and more particularly pointed out in theclaims.

In the accompanying drawin s Figure 1 is a front elevation of whatmaylie regarded as a bath-tub installation, and Fig. '2 is a plan viewthereof. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of either Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, and Fig.4 is a sectional elevation of one of the fitting members complete, twosuch members being required to complete the installation.

Modern architecture for hotels and public houses especially, and in someinstances in private dwellings, has come to look with favor on the planof concealin the water supply pipes in the walls of t e building andproviding for connections to be made directly therewith through thewall, but it has been found that in cases wherein hot and cold waterpipes are run parallel the ipes are liable to be spaced apart atdiferent widths from floor vto floor and in different buildings, andhence a fitting or fixture which comes to such conditions must beadapted to accommodate itself to such different widths or it cannot beused.

cases where the nip ples for making connections may come at differentelevations horizontally. Hence the necessity of having fittings that canbe set into any and all such varying condition as they may arise, andhave the means of adaptation in themselves by ad ustment or otherwise.

To these ends the present invention comprises a fitting a which meetsthe needs of the conditions described and which otherwise is adapted tobe used with the usual water cook a and which may be of the present orany other suitable design or style and provided with hand controlledvalves as usual. The said fittings are preferably shaped as shown butmodifications thereof may be made and come within'the present invention,as is obvious. However, the present form or shape has special advantagesin that the fitting is made in a single piece and yet can be adapted toany irregularities in positions of the pipes that are likely to ariseand without special adjustments of parts or other requirements to makethe necessary connections with said pipes or the so-called cook or body0. In addition to this the said fitting is provided with means by whichthe water can easily be shut off by an unskilled plerson when suchaction becomes necessary.

ach fitting, therefore, has a body portion 2 provided with an internalthread at its inner end, in this instance, adapted to be coupled withthe supply pipe at by means of a nipple 3 or the equlvalent thereof, anda right an led tubular elbow or arm 4 is cast integral with the body andcoupled with the cock 0 by a nut 5 as seen in Fig. 4. The said nutengages a screw collar 8 on the extremity of the elbow so union ma beeffected with the cock, and a like rotation of the fitting axially mayalso occur at nipple 3 which connects by a screw joint with the supplyipe d that a rotatable It will also be seen 1; at the body 2 has an A.wrench or tool to turn the same, but which end ordinarily is covered bya cap 8 screwed onto the end of the EaOklIIghIIIut n engaged.

on the end of said ody. this instance also a thimble 9 is inserted inthe end of said body in which the said stem has screw threadedadjustment/and thus any one who has a key can easil shut off the waterand detach the cock 0. This location of the said elbow on' the body ofthe fitting brings the same out away from the wall on into con-.

venientposition for use with a bath tub or sink, but it will be observedthat the connection is wholly independentof the tub or sink andsupported exclusively from the ternal screw threads on body '2 servesto" clamp the fitting in place upon the Wall.

Each fitting a is thus shown to be rotatable and in the rotation thearms 4 will occupy difl'erent positions in respect to a horizontal planeaccording to the distance .or space between the supply pipes in the walland the "respective elevations of the connections with the said'pipes,'and no adjustment of any kind is required for the various positions thefitting ma take except the rotation of the fitting godily and as awhole.

What I claim is:

1. As a new article of manufacture, a hot and cold water cock or faucetand two fittings rotatablyconnected therewith and eachcomprising atubular body internally threaded at its inner .end to establish arotatable connection with a supply pipe and externally threaded toreceive a screw-flange for clamping the fitting adjustably backand forthupona wall and provided internally with a valve seat and an extensionfront of said seat, a valve adapted to said seat having an operatingstem extending through the said front extension and packed therein and ascrew cap for said front end inclosingthe end of the said stem, and eachof said bodies having a tubular elbow opening into the same immediatelyin front of said valve seat and the outer terminals of said elbowsparallel to said'body-andhaving rotatable connection with said cockfaucet. v

2. As a new article of manufacture, a hot [and cold water cook or faucetand two fittings rotatably connected therewith and each comprising atubular body internally threaded at its inner end to establish arotatable connection with a supply pipe and externally threaded toreceive a screwflange for clamping the fitting adjustably back and forthupon a wall and provided'in- .ternally with a valve seat and anextension- In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures in presence ofwitnesses.
